Guild Member on the Colbert Report!

Added on February 16, 2012

Long-time Guild member Peter Perrello informed me recently of his participation in the Comedy Central show, The Colbert Report. For those who aren’t familiar, the show satirizes conservative political pundit programs and is filled with tongue-in-cheek humor. The show is also intended for an adult audience due to the off-color humor, so just a little warning before you watch.

The clip is very interesting as it brings attention to the whole SawStop debacle. Pretty wild that the story hit mainstream media. But the real reason for me posting this is to give Peter a shout out. I think he did great and it was cool seeing his shop on a cable channel. And as tempting as it will be to get into a big SawStop debate, let’s not. :) I hear the dead horse whispering, “No mas! No mas!”

Thanks for posting Marc, unfortunately it says ‘unavailable in your location’ on my computer, as I am not in the US. Is this on YouTube or other sites do you know? (Count not find it initially) Thanks!!!

This is just too hard to ignore. I mean, the fact that this is getting into the main stream media now. We need to be careful about what message we send; there are millions of impressionable minds now tuning in. If we are not careful about what we send, people will start thinking the Guild and all “whispererites (I hereby trademark and lay claim to this term that nobody in their right minds will ever acknowledge)” are part of the majority / popular crowd.

Oh, wait, this was about the saw, wasn’t it?

Too funny! I haven’t laughed this hard in a while… thanks! While safety is no laughing matter, it’s nice to know some people can still take a joke.
